Liverpool disappointed losing coaching duo to Man City

The Independent says the departure of coaches Steve Torpey and Darren Hughes, who will work at the new integrated Etihad campus, follows City's appointment of Rodolfo Borrell as global technical director, after Liverpool had let him go last November.

Liverpool had not wanted to lose Torpey and Hughes, who worked with age groups up to 14, and the moves to replace them are expected to form part of a summer of restructuring at the Kirkby academy.
